Steven Ng

       Cartoons, comic strips, and comic books have always been my favorite entertainment. Since childhood, my favorite cartoonists are Carl Barks, Chuck Jones, and Charles Schulz. I read funny animals, superheroes, manga, black & white independents, bande dessinee, non-fiction comics, and graphic novels. My favorite creators today include Brad Bird, Hayao Miyazaki, Nick Park, Jeff Smith, Stan Sakai, Bruce Timm, and Adam Warren. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I've been lucky to have good comic conventions close by. I met Jack Kirby and Sergio Aragones at Baycon in San Francisco while still in high school. We had WonderCon and Big Wow ComicFest. The biggest comic show in the country takes place in San Diego and I went every year from 1993-2014 to have fun and help my brother's Stuart Ng Books. We started going to the inaugural LightBox Expo in 2019. I drive delivery vans and transfer books for the Alameda County Library so it was a natural fit.
       Northern California is the home of the Cartoon Art Museum and the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco and the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa. I have been a member of the CAM since 1993. I've met Stan Lee, Charles Schulz, Marc Davis, Ward Kimball, and other great cartoonists at their programs. I joined ASIFA-SF, the local chapter of the international animated film society under Karl Cohen, and enjoyed their programs including talks by Robin Allan, Mike Barrier, and Tom Sito. My membership gets me into Ron Diamond's Animation Show of Shows every Fall and the Oscar Showcase every February. I saw and heard directors Torill Kove and John Canemaker in person and watched them win Oscars on TV one week later. For animation news and history, I recommend Jerry Beck's Animation Scoop, Michael Barrier, and Skwigly Online Animation Magazine.
      On my art collecting, I began by collecting autographs from my favorite artists and fell in love with the little drawings which some artists drew before signing their names. So I attend conventions in California and seek out artists. I have some published covers and pages, but my collection is largely con sketches, commissions, preliminary works, etc.
       My brother's Stuart Ng Books deals in imported French comic albums, artist sketchbooks, out-of-print illustrated books, and some original art: He is the publisher of the American edition of Claire Wendling's Desk and Iguana Bay 2.0. Stuart published Pierre Alary Sketchbook and Sketchbook 2007, Claire Wendling's Daisies, Enjoy It While You Can, Kid: Sketchbook Cartoons by Eric Goldberg, A Different Stripe: Andreas Deja's Animal Sketchbook, Adam Warren's Empowered: Extra Sketchiness, the Pres Romanillos Sketchbook, and S Curves Volume 2 and S Curves Volume 3 by Shane Glines. I am very proud of my brother for his role in Designing the Secret of Kells and the Song of the Sea Artbook from Cartoon Saloon in Ireland. Stuart's latest cooperative publishing project is The Art of Animal Crackers with creator Scott Sava.
       I attended Animecon in San Jose in 1991 and most Bay Area anime events in the 1990's. The guest lists included Kenichi Sonoda, Haruhiko Mikimoto, and other anime and manga artists. I met voice actors and singers Mari Iijima and Megumi Hayashibura. My anime cel and drawing gallery is at rubberslug.com: Steven's Anime and Animator Gallery.
